ASUS Japan announced on October 14th the start of pre-orders for two products, four models in total, from its premium brand for creators, the "ProArt" series: the next-generation AI laptops "ProArt P16 (H7607)" and "ProArt P14 (H7407)". Pre-orders will sequentially begin starting today, with products sequentially released starting October 23rd.
The ProArt P16 and ProArt P14 are primarily characterized by their integration of "NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X," which combines NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPUs and NVIDIA Grace CPUs. With up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, they are designed to support demanding workflows such as local generative AI processing, leveraging large AI models, video editing, and 3D rendering. A practical advantage for professional use is that the CPU and GPU share high-speed unified memory, facilitating processing while minimizing data transfer overhead.
The lineup consists of the 16-inch ProArt P16, which easily provides a large workspace, and the 14-inch ProArt P14, designed with portability in mind. Two colors are available: Nano Black and Neo White, and the chassis features a high-quality CNC-machined finish. Nano Black offers a subdued texture that resists fingerprints, while Neo White is characterized by a sophisticated appearance achieved through sandblasting.
In terms of features, they are equipped with ASUS's proprietary AI-enabled app "Story Cube," which streamlines asset management by automatically organizing and classifying photos and videos. They also include the AI idea generation tool "MuseTree," making it easy to visualize ideas based on text and images. Supported applications include Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, Blender, CapCut, ComfyUI, and others, indicating a configuration broadly designed for creative production and AI utilization. Purchases can be made from the ASUS official online store, ASUS Store, as well as planned retail partners such as Applied, Amazon.co.jp, Edion, K's Denki, Kojima, Joshin, Sofmap, Bic Camera, Yamada Denki, and Yodobashi Camera.
